Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Yellow Submarine (song) has been reverted. Your edit here to Yellow Submarine (song) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzmQ1DP-Pdc, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzmQ1DP-Pdc) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 21:45, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Sampling (music). Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Popcornfud (talk) 15:07, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.


 * None of the sources you supplied in your last edit are usable for Wikipedia. Please see WP:RSINSTRUMENT for a list of reliable sources to start with. If you're not sure if a source is reliable, please discuss it on the talk page and we can figure out a consensus. Ranting at editors without understanding Wikipedia policy isn't the way to get things done. Popcornfud (talk) 15:09, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
 * There are no references for any of the other artists listed, but one. Please explain this discrepancy.
 * There is no logical rationale for removing arguably the most important artist associated with this instrument from a Wikipedia page whose sole purpose is describing the instrument's history and usage. Jarre is listed on the instrument designer's OWN website.
 * This reversion is purely subjective, petty, and self-evidently ahistorical. And you have the gall to call my edit disruptive.
 * I honestly have better things to do than try to cross moats in others' fiefdoms.
 * Leave the page incomplete, then. Well done. Cbmtrx (talk) 15:34, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I think I was too hasty to slap a warning on your talk page, because it's clear you made a good-faith effort to find sources for the information you want to add. I apologize for that.
 * To answer two points:
 * There are no references for any of the other artists listed, but one.
 * That's because each of those artists is mentioned in that source — one source covers the entire claim. OR at least that's supposed to be the situation. On inspecting the source more closely, only three of the artists are actually mentioned. They were probably added by editors who didn't add a reliable source for the artists. I've removed these unsourced sources from the sentence.
 * There is no logical rationale for removing arguably the most important artist associated with this instrument from a Wikipedia page
 * The rationale is the same Wikipedia policy that all pages must follow: WP:VERIFY. To add information, it must be sourced to a reliable secondary source. Per WP:BURDEN, it's up to the person who wants to add that information to find a usable source. They can't simply demand other people do the work.
 * We may be able to include the information you want to include — it sounds like it could definitely be good material for the article. However, we'll need to find it sourced in a reliable secondary source. As I said above, WP:RSINSTRUMENT has a list of reliable sources, but that list isn't exhaustive. If you find a source you think we can use, we can discuss whether it's useable for Wikipedia. Popcornfud (talk) 16:59, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
